I sighed and picked myself up from the floor. I walked out and saw part of the strawberry fields ablaze. The sickening smell of burning strawberries hit me like a wave. My mother was going to get a beating from Demeter. I saw Percy controlling a stream of water towards the burning crops. I headed towards Jason who was standing on the side with his spear in hand. I ran up to him and watched as he stared at the fields.
"Jason, we should really talk."
Without looking at me he nodded in consent. I let out an audible sigh and guided him back towards his cabin. We entered the Zeus cabin and Jason stood facing me and looking at the floor.
"Jason, I need to tell you the truth. This is really hard for me because I don't want you to hate me for the truth."
"Sophia, why would you think-"
"I am here to prevent an all out war between the Greeks and the Romans. If my mission fails, I have orders to kill you and Percy."
"Oh," Jason said obviously shocked.
I turned my back to him and held my face in my hands. I ruined it. How could Jason even treat me any better than a traitor? I felt a tear drop fall from my eye and onto my cheek. A small breeze made the drop fly off my face. Jason grabbed my shoulders and slowly turned me back to face him. I looked into his eyes.
"Jason-"
I was silenced by his lips gently touching mine.
"Sophia, I promise you won't have to kill me," he said gently through our kiss.
I pulled away from him.
"Jason, it's not just you who needs to be good."
"Sophia, I'll talk to Percy."
"I would prefer you didn't."
"Why?"
"I need to tell Percy, in my own time."
"Fine, good night, Sophia."
He sat on his bed. I let out a huff of air and walked out of the Zeus cabin. I was about to enter my cabin when I blacked out. When I awoke I was in the throne room of the gods on Mount Olympus. The twelve thrones each held a god. I stood up and brushed off my dress. The gods were talking among themselves, acting as if I wasn't there. I cleared my throat and Aphrodite turned to face me. She winked and stood from her throne and walked over to Zeus. She whispered something to him and he looked at me.
"Silence," he roared.
Poseidon rolled his eyes at his brother. Percy did resemble his dad in many ways. His eyes were the same as his fathers. Cold and commanding, yet warm and inviting.
"Our assassin to be is here!" chuckled Hermes.
I glared at him.
"Enough," said Zeus, "what news do you have?"
"Well," I started, "I have learned about some of the interactions between the two camp leaders, but I have a question."
"Well ask it child," said Athen.
"Why send someone down to complicate this mess? Why not just observe it yourselves?"
"Well, the two of them don't interact much and we hoped that someone new to the camp could change that."
"Hera," I said as calmly as possible, "I understand wiping Jason's memory was the only way to get him to camp half blood, but it really isn't helping."
The queen of the gods shot me a nasty glare.
"Well," said Zeus impatiently, "can you stop the war? Or will we end up using you to kill the boys?"
I looked at him in pure disgust. "You are willing to kill your own son?"
"Whatever I need to do to protect our civilization I'll do. Now off with you child."
He wave his hand and my vision went black. When I awoke it was morning at camp half blood. There was a knock at the door. I fiddled around with the necklaces on my neck. It was Percy.
"Go away," I shouted at the door.
The door opened and Percy walked in. I moaned.
"Do you not listen to a word I say?"
He smirked, "Don't worry, I'm here to make peace. I'm sorry I forced myself on you earlier. It was very rude of me. A few of us are playing some friendly games tonight at the beach. Feel free to bring lightning boy."
He walked out of the cabin. I sat down on the bed. Did Percy Jackson just apologize to me? I changed into shorts and a t-shirt and raced out to find Jason. I ran into him at the sword fighting arena. He was slashing at practice dummies, that was both a turn on and a turn off. I smiled and grabbed a sword from the rack. He hadn't noticed I was there. Using the element of surprise I managed to make his sword fly from his had, and I tackled him to the floor. He smiled at me and kissed my neck. I invited him to the event Percy told me about and he quickly accepted. We talked about some dumb stuff like favorite colors when we heard a sound from the other end of the arena. A boy with pale skin and dark hair walked out from the shadows.
"Hello, I'm Nice DiAngelo, and I believe you are Sophia, child of the moon."
